Mageia 2: release cycle, support and planning

"The outcome of our discussions: the release cycle for Mageia
will be 9 months. We think it's a well-balanced choice, providing
an up-to-date distribution that's also stable. It should also give
us enough time to build the specifications, develop, package,
innovate and finalize it.

"Each Mageia release will be supported for 18 months. We will
have a global review of our resources before next release to check
that we can still provide support according to our first plan. If
all is going well, then we will think about releasing a LTS (Long
Term Support) version every 18 months, to be supported for 3
years."
